Overview

The Body is an informal terminology for the two aspects that reside between the Roots and Branches. These entities are considered to be Elder to the other gods and their duty is to uphold the two main forces of the Resonance.

An, the Scholar - Elder God of Order

Depiction

Often referred to as The Scholar, An is depicted as a hooded man with many books floating around him in a circle. His duty, as it is taught, is to keep a record of all things within the Resonance. Within the Great Tree, he exists as a deterrent against loss and destruction.

Clergy

The faithful of An are devoted to history and the upkeep of all records throughout time. Without the scholars and historians, the world is doomed to collapse into anarchy and stupidity. His symbol is a quill on a scroll.

Otherak, the Entropy - Elder God of Chaos

Depiction

Often referred to as The Entropy, Otherak is the antithesis of An. He is not evil, nor good. He simply exists and his actions are as his whims - unpredictable and ever changing. It is taught that no matter what you seek in studying Otherak, you will not find the truth you think you will find. He is depicted as a cloud of arms and faces, all with their own thoughts and actions, none more dominant than the other.

Clergy

Otherak has no faithful in the traditional sense, as that would imply some level of thought or organization. He exists in the random thoughts of all beings and is that little voice urging you to make a choice you'd never make in normal circumstances. He is the force that drives the seas, the weather, and all things that seemingly have no reason to happen. His symbol is generally a diamond with several notches in it, but it is required that the symbol be hand-drawn and never stamped.
